From somewhere on the web


INGREDIENTS:

1 lb strawberries, stems removed and sliced in half
3-4 tbs sugar

2 1/2 cups cold water


DIRECTIONS:

Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Force puree through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of all the seeds. Pour all the sugar into the seedless puree and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours.

Salsa Tampico

From me myself and I

Salsa tampico is a dressing used in Mexico.

INGREDIENTS:

4 bars of chopped surimi (fake crab)
1/3 cup mayo
1/4 mexican cream
1/4 chopped onion
1 chopped serrano chile

DIRECTIONS:

Put the chopped onion and serrano in a food processor and pulse 8-10 times, add chopped surimi and pulse again for 8-10 times and finally add mayo and cream and mix on high until all ingredients are well blended. Add salt if needed.

You can top deep fried sushi with this dressing or serve it over white or fried rice, DELICIOUS!
